Your mayor and city commission are an active, elected body of government responsible for legislation and policy-making for the City. The voters elect five at-large Commission members. Commission members are elected on a non-partisan ballot. Commission members are elected for two-year terms. All five Commission seats are up for election in odd-year November elections. The Commission members then select a Commission member to be the Mayor and another to serve as Mayor Pro-Tem. The Mayor holds office for one year.
